nominal moment
- Thread starter olrak

I believe that nominal moment is the actual flexural resistance of a section calculated from section geometry and section material properties.
In load factor design method the nominal moment (Mn) is usually multiplied by strength factor (phi) to obtain moment resistance (Mr):
Mr = phi * Mn
phi accounts for section dimension tolerances etc.
Then Mr must be larger than the applied factored loads.
